On July 7, 1937, when the Japanese army was exercising near the Lugou Bridge in the southwest of Beiping, the Japanese army asked to enter Wanping County for investigation at night under the pretext that their own soldiers were missing. After being rejected by the Kuomintang troops, the Japanese army launched an attack on Wanping County and Lugou Bridge in the early morning of July 8, and the Nationalist army resisted, and only four people survived in a company stationed north of Lugou Bridge, and all the rest died heroically. This is the historical "Lugou Bridge Incident", also known as the "Seven. Seven Incidents". "VII. The "Seven Incidents" marked the beginning of Japan's full-scale invasion of China, the starting point of the Chinese nation's all-out war of resistance against Japan, and the beginning of World War II in Asia.

The "Lugou Bridge Incident" was sudden, the situation was suddenly tense, and the cries of the whole country for an immediate and all-out war against Japan rushed straight to Guling. On the afternoon of 8 July, Chiang Kai-shek received a telegram from Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, and nine others: "Chairman of the Lushan Committee of the People's Republic of China, Jun Jian: The Japanese invaders will attack the Lugou Bridge and carry out the predetermined steps of their armed seizure of North China. On July 9, Chiang Kai-shek received a telegram from Peng Dehuai, Lin Biao, Liu Bocheng, He Long, and others on behalf of the entire Red Army: "All our Red Army is willing to change its name to the National Revolutionary Army immediately, and please be named the Anti-Japanese Striker, and fight to the death against the Japanese invaders!" ”

On the morning of July 17, Chiang Kai-shek, dressed in military uniform, officially issued the "Declaration of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression" in front of more than 100 representatives of various parties and celebrities from all walks of life, solemnly declaring: "We are about to reach the extremely miserable situation of the human world where man is a sword and I am a fish and meat, and we cannot afford not to fight!" As for the start of the war, we can only sacrifice to the end, and if we are uncertain and delusional, we will fall into a land of no return; If you give up the size of land and sovereignty, you will be the sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages! If the war starts, it will be that there is no distinction between north and south, no distinction between young and old, no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility to defend the war of resistance, and they all have the determination to sacrifice everything! The venue rang out with warm applause from time to time, and the cries of 40,000 compatriots to resist foreign aggression finally echoed!

On August 8th, Wang Dongchen in the conference room of the 15th Division asked Peng Songling to read out one battle report after another, all the officers were silent, Lin Junxiong's heart was also heavy, history should always happen, but really participating in it is completely different from reading the historical records of later generations, and the casualty figures read out touched everyone's heartstrings.

Wang Dongchen stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, the chairman of the committee has made a declaration of battle to resist Japanese aggression, and in the past month, countless brothers in the national army have set an example in the front, and we are about to go to the battlefield. ”

"In addition, I would like to tell you the good news that I have received a telegram from the chairman of the National People's Congress that our 15th Division will be separated from the Fourth Army and expanded into the 73rd Army, with me as the commander and commander of the 15th Division, and Peng Songling and Chen Kongda as deputy commanders. The expanded 73rd Army will be under the command of Commander Xue Yue's 19th Route Army, and Commander Xue is already on his way to Shanghai from the southwest, and he ordered our 73rd Army to immediately rush to Anting near Shanghai to prepare for battle. Now I order that all the troops will depart for Anting tomorrow. ”

Lin Junxiong just met an acquaintance, a brother Shang Tianen who had not seen him for three years, Shang Tianen hugged Lin Junxiong excitedly, tears flowed uncontrollably, Lin Junxiong patted his back and comforted.

"Little Five, why are you here, transferred to the 73rd Army?"

"No, big brother, I was transferred to the 113th Regiment of the 98th Division of the 15th Army as the commander, and when I heard that you were here, I rushed over to see you first."

"Let's go, go back to me, Twilight and Yukina are with me."

When he arrived at Lin Junxiong's residence, Du Sheng hugged Shang Tianen and shouted excitedly, "Brother, how have you been in the past few years?" ”

The two were excited for a while before parting, and Dusheng looked at Shang Tianen carefully before saying, "Xiao Wu has turned black, but he is more resolute, yes, now they are all the head of the regiment." ”

"Second brother, don't mention this, I'm still a lieutenant colonel, my eldest brother is a major general, and I have been fighting against the Communist Party in Jiangxi for the past few years, but I have been suffocated to death."

Yukina heard a voice rushing out of the house and shouted happily, "Gotenen! ”

Shang Tianen looked at Xue Nai in surprise and said, "Xiao Nizi is getting more and more beautiful, hey, why don't you call Fifth Brother, what is Tian'en?" ”

Twilight Sheng stared at him fiercely, Shang Tianen immediately understood, patted his head and said, "Look at me, congratulations to the eldest brother, congratulations to Xiaoqi, no, it should be called sister-in-law." ”

Xue Nai blushed, grabbed Shang Tianen and said while beating, "I told you to talk nonsense, it's not even now." ”

Shang Tianen looked at Lin Junxiong puzzled, Lin Junxiong pulled Xue Nai and said, "Soon, when this battle is over, Xue Nai will be given a name at that time." ”

The three brothers got together, and naturally they couldn't finish talking, Lin Junxiong specially called Wei Xin, Wei Xin joined the Communist Party of China through the consent of the organization a few months ago, Lin Junxiong originally wanted to join the Communist Party in Duansheng, but Dusheng said that the form doesn't matter, anyway, he has been with Lin Junxiong in this life, and Lin Junxiong did not insist.

After three rounds of drinking, Shang Tianen said: "Big brother, do you know, the third brother also graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy last year, and we drank together when we were in Jiangxi, he is now a battalion commander, and he is no longer the third brother of the year, he is more calm and mature." I was transferred to the front line this time, and he asked me to tell you that there was a chance to transfer him too, and he also sent it to you. ”

Lin Junxiong touched the cup with a few people, and said slowly: "I think back then, the second, third, and fourth children were all subdued by me, we were only fourteen or fifteen years old that year, and on a whim we bowed on the boat on the way to Ryukyu for the first time, Xiao Wu was decided by relying on our later Junxia consent, and the sixth child was forced to agree by me because I saw that he was talented, and Xiao Qixue Nai was I who wanted to stop her feelings for me and make her the seventh sister." Now that we brothers are so rare to get together, I think of the scene on the ship back then, as if it happened yesterday, but eleven years have passed. ”

Du Sheng took a sip and said: "I think when I saw my eldest brother for the first time, Master Yuanjue asked me to follow you in the future, I was not convinced, and I had a fight with you, and then after a period of getting along, I was even more convinced of my eldest brother, and I also had a happy family of Yucui and Xiaoyu under the matchmaking of eldest brother and sister-in-law, but unfortunately I failed to protect my sister-in-law, and I still can't forgive myself." ”

Dusk Sheng cried as he spoke, Lin Junxiong let out a long sigh and said to him: "Second child, it's been a few years, I really haven't blamed you, in another two years, maybe I'll give you a surprise." ”

Xue Nai brought a dish from the kitchen, saw Twilight crying, and asked Lin Junxiong in a low voice, "Okay, why are you crying?" ”

Dusk Sheng drank a large glass of wine and took Lin Junxiong and Xue Nai's hands and said: "Since Junxia's sister-in-law had an accident, I have been blaming myself, so when Xue Nai shouted that she was going to find the eldest brother you, I discussed it with Yucui, I must be by the side of the eldest brother and Xue Nai to protect you, I can't let the eldest brother break his heart again, big brother, don't worry, I will follow Xue Nai's sister-in-law in the future and protect her for you." ”

Looking at Twilight's painful expression, Lin Junxiong patted him on the shoulder and said: "We are brothers, some things are the test of fate for me, and they have nothing to do with you, and besides, you handled that crisis very well, otherwise we all have to die, second, promise me to unload my burden, live happily, and live happily for Yucui and Xiaoyu, okay?" ”

Twilight cried and shouted, "Big brother, I promise you, but I'm uncomfortable, you just let me mention it again, and I'll be happy after tonight, okay?" ”

Shang Tianen was also appeased, Wei Xin looked at the three brothers, and said with some envy: "You brothers have a really good relationship, just like your own brothers." ”

Lin Junxiong helped Du Sheng up and said, "Second brother, sit well, I'm really angry if I talk nonsense again." ”

"It's made Comrade Wei Xin laugh, the second child is this character, how many times he said he just wouldn't change."

"Where can I laugh at it, I'm just envious, I'm an orphan, and then I was adopted, my adoptive parents also died in the warlord melee when I graduated from college, and later joined the army to do my part to calm down this troubled world, who knows that the national government is still disappointing, fortunately, Comrade Junxiong took me to find the Communist Party of China, found the hope of my struggle, come, I salute you."

After Lin Junxiong drank it happily, he said to him: "Don't worry, the bright day will always come." ”

"There will definitely be a big war between China and Japan in Shanghai and its vicinity next, you have to give me a good life, you know, Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Wu nodded seriously, and said to Lin Junxiong with tears: "Big brother, you too, remember our ideals, don't forget to ask for Ryukyu." ”

When Lin Junxiong said that a big war would break out between China and Japan, Xue Nai was stunned for a moment, his expression dimmed, and he happened to be seen by Lin Junxiong, he asked with concern: "Xue Nai, what's wrong, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Xue Nai came back to her senses, barely squeezed out a smile and said, "No, I just heard that you said that you were going to fight, and I was a little worried about your safety." ”

"Yukina, I remember what you promised me at the beginning, when the war comes, you will be obedient and go back to your father's mother, and I plan to let Twilight send you back."

"No, I don't want it, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, it will become a farewell, I will take care of you by your side and accompany you."

Lin Junxiong said a little angrily: "Why are you disobedient, in a dangerous place on the battlefield, war is not child's play, you can't mess around, you know?" ”

Ren Lin Junxiong said this, Xue Nai just lowered his head and shook his head, Lin Junxiong was about to get angry, Du Sheng held him down and said: "Big brother, Xue Nai's comfort will be handed over to me to protect, you can rest assured, as long as I still have a breath, I will definitely protect her safety, don't be like this, scare Xue Nai." ”

Lin Junxiong saw Xue Nai's pear blossoms with rain and Chu Chu's pitiful appearance, his heart softened, he took Xue Nai's hand and said, "It's okay to stay, but you must be obedient, you know?" ”

Yukina looked up, tears in her eyes with joy, and she nodded in agreement.
